D.S.D. athletes at World Mountain Running Championships

Killian Mooney finished an excellent 53 rd  in the World Mountain running championships in Italy at the weekend, placing 2 nd  Irishman home. Killian was running in the “Classic” 14K race. The athletes run two loops through the Barranco de Epifanio to complete a 14 Km race with 820 meters of elevation gain, divided mainly into two ascents of about 400 meters each.  Killian paced himself well throughout gaining positions over the last climb. He was joined on the Irish team by clubmate Sarah Mulligan who completed the women’s “Classic” race in 62 nd  place also finishing 2 nd  Irish Woman home.   Well done Killian and Sarah!     Thanks to Donal for report!
